NASA doesn't agree with you.


They do, actually.


Not knowing what your qualifications are I'll favor NASA's explanation
of a combination of Newtonian / Bernoulli as described in part by
Euler's equations, the idea being that the airfoil turns the airflow to
generate lift. NASA's done a lot of experiments & measurements and have
a long publication history dating back to the NACA days let alone an
astonishing track record in flying high and low performance aircraft.

I don't think there's any single person out there that can beat the
combined knowledge of NASA's decades of experience.




I don't think so either.
